    Phenomenal Flowers

    I cannot say enough positive things regarding Douglas Koch and the flowers I received. Not only was he able to do changes with a weeks notice - what he provided for the bouquets and centerpieces were breathtaking!! I received many compliments on both!!
    If I ever have the need for flowers for a function in the future I will be sure to attempt to hire Doug!!!

    10/10 recommend

    I was very nervous about trusting the reviews online to relay my wedding day dreams but YALLLL LOOK NO FURTHER!!! Douglas Koch was HANDS DOWN the best florist and ARTIST I have ever worked with. Not only was he kind and helpful in planning from 1200 miles away, but he was also flexible when we had a drastic guest count change. From the custom-made arbor to the beautiful bouquets, his talents really are limitless.

    Douglas Koch Designs's reply:

    Dear Brittany and Joseph,
    It was a joy to work with you designing your dream wedding on top of Gunter Mountain. Thank you for your trust and kind words. We all hear at DKD wish you both a lone life together filled with Joy and Love. When you find yourselves back in the Hudson valley stop by and say hello.
    Cheers Douglas, Joe and the DKD staff.

    Douglas is an absolute magician with florals and decor!

    As a wedding professional in the Hudson Valley for many years, I have been recommending Douglas to clients as my premiere florist, and he never disappoints. When my daughter was getting married there was no one else I would trust her special day to than Douglas and his amazing team. My daughter got married at a lakefront pavilion that didn't have much going for it other than location and Douglas worked his magic, transforming it with draping, lights, linens, and flowers. He turned a basic park pavilion into a magical wedding venue, and he did it all with grace and a smile. Douglas and Joe are always such a pleasure to work with and if you are looking for a florist or designer for your big day you can stop searching because you've found the best!

    Thank you Debbie, you know we are always up for a challenge. It was our honor and pleasure to be a part of Amanda and Alex's wedding. XO Douglas

    Beautiful decor

    Douglas and his team exceeded our expectations with our flowers and decor and executed our vision flawlessly.

    We had our wedding at Hunter and had severe thunderstorms in the area which needed to be monitored to ensure a summit ceremony could happen. He and his team were able to roll with the punches to get our chuppah set up at the summit and make the reception flowers look flawless.

    He was clear in communication throughout the process and worked with me to incorporate some of my decor elements (signage) to fit with the overall reception aesthetic of whimsical and romantic. Everyone loved the florals - Douglas and his team did a killer job. Thank you again, we cannot recommend them enough!

    Douglas Koch Designs's reply:

    Dear Stephanie and Patrick,
    It was a pleasure to work with you both even when we had to reschedule due to the Pandemic. Your upbeat outlook made working with you a pleasure. We are thrilled you loved everything and grateful for your kind words. Have wish you both a world of love, Joy and great success.
    Douglas and the DKD team XO

    Absolutely beautiful

    I cannot say enough about how beautiful the flowers and centerpieces were by Douglas. They far exceeded anything I ever even imagined! And working with Douglas was great…. So kind and easy going! He really listened to what we wanted and created things that were GORGEOUS. At the last minute, I asked for a few flowers to be added to the wedding cake…. When I saw the “few flowers” on the wedding cake I was stunned. 1000000% Recommend.

    Douglas Koch Designs's reply:

    Kelley,
    Wow, you are most welcome. It was our pleasure to be a part of your wedding team. We all at DKD wish you both a long, healthy life filled with Joy. XO Douglas

    Grogeous Centerpieces, Awesome Service Day-of

    Douglas and his team were awesome to work with! He was easy to communication with and was so incredible helpful and flexible the day of our wedding, putting out all of the centerpieces and distributing corsages and boutonnieres. Oh my goodness, the centerpieces were absolutely stunning. We had two different centerpieces, 1) a manzanita tree with candles in jars hanging from the branches and 2) and wooden rounds with candles and moss, and with our wine and pink assorted flowers around both to have a modern rustic look and the execution was BEYOND PERFECT. We had so many compliments about how fresh the flowers were as well, including one from my grandmother, which is impressive. They last the whole wedding plus some travel time in our cars! Amazing and highly recommend to all.

    Beautiful setup and style

    I absolutely loved my experience with this vendor. The set up for the reception room and ballroom was simply gorgeous and it really made everything stand out. I will definitely use this vendor again for another main event and I highly recommend them.

    Absolutely stunning work

    Walking into my reception and seeing the flower arrangements that Douglas and his team assembled was a total highlight of my wedding day. It was far and beyond what I was expecting. This is not to exclude all of the other details--bouquets, flower crowns, sashes for the ceremony (all done perfectly). I planned my wedding from afar but the DK team was so easy to work with. I met Douglas on the day of my wedding -- He is a lovely person, and an amazing artist. I did not think flowers would make such a big difference, but I am SO glad I had DK designs on my team. I am still totally blown away at what they did for my wedding and I wouldn't have changed a thing!

    Douglas Koch Designs's reply:

    Lily and Clayton,
    Thank you for your thoughtful and kind thoughts. Even though we could not meet before your wedding day, I knew from our first conversation on the phone we would be able to work together to make your wedding dreams come true. It was such a pleasure working with you to plan your flower decor. We all here wish you both lasting health, a long life together and unending LOVE. Keep in touch. Warm regards Douglas, Joe and the DKD team

    Knowing next to nothing about flowers going into our wedding, Douglas was the perfect find for us. He walked us through color schemes and designs, and shared with us what works and what doesn't. We are so glad we used Douglas for our wedding and deferred to his expertise. Douglas created the most amazing decoration to accompany Hunter Mountain's Arbor, and the centerpieces and personal flowers were the perfect accent to our wedding, rave reviews from our guests. Douglas was flexible, and worked with us to meet our price point. You won't be disappointed using Douglas and his team.

    Having owned flower shops in Manhattan and Nassau County Long Island and considering myself an expert in wedding flowers I can honestly say that Douglas and his crew did a better job at my daughter's wedding than I could have done myself. He truly "undersold" and "overdelivered". The quality of the flowers and the level of sophistication of the design work was phenomenal. All I can say is THANK YOU!!!!!

    Throughout the planning of our wedding when we told our vendors that we had hired Douglas Koch as our florist we heard on multiple occasions, “You have Douglas!? He’s absolutely incredible and we love working with him”. I can now say without a doubt that they were 100% correct and he most certainly didn’t disappoint! I simply can’t speak highly enough about Douglas and the rest of his staff at Douglas Koch Designs. From day one, Douglas truly worked with us to create our own unique vision for our wedding. He remained in touch with us frequently in order to share new ideas and to give us updates. I felt completely comfortable putting everything solely in his hands without a worry. Douglas is extremely talented and what he was able to come up with is simply indescribable. Walking into both my ceremony and reception, I was completely blown away by the masterpiece of a space that he had created. He went above and beyond to ensure that the floral designs were everything we wanted for our special day. I would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you to Douglas from the bottom of our hearts!

    We first met Douglas Koch at the 2016 Birch Hill Wedding Show. We had booked our wedding in April of 2015 at Birch Hill and were finally getting all the other details in order. Our first memory of Douglas was his very nice and professional personality, as well as his beautiful floral displays at the Wedding Show. When we returned home that evening, we discussed and decided that Douglas knew what he was doing and we would give him a go. Great decision! After a few changes and add ons to our initial design, Douglas and his team executed beautifully on our wedding day. When we entered the ballroom where our ceremony/reception took place, we were in absolute awe and beyond pleased with seeing Douglas' vision come to life. Our guests are still remarking to us how grand and lush everything was at the wedding. Hats off to Douglas and his entire team on a job well done. Kind regards, J & Z :)

    One of my bridesmaids and I went to the wedding expo at Birch Hill where we met Doug and Paul. Within the week following we had a consultation set up. I was dead set due to budget to do all my own centerpieces and bouquets. I am so happy with my decision to do the consultation and Doug was more than willing and happy to stay within my budget even using flowers for ceremony and reception. He brought my vision to life, it was even better than I even imagined. A weight has been lifting knowing that my wedding ceremony and reception is in good hands. I cannot wait to work with them in the months leading up to my wedding and seeing the end result. I highly recommend Doug, Joe, Beth, and the whole crew! They are amazing, knowledgeable (its okay if you don't know anything about flowers! That's what they are there for!) and so talented! Look no further go with Doug!

    Douglas went above and beyond to help make my wedding absolutely perfect! From our first meeting to fixing the train of my dress before I walked down the aisle Douglas was extremely helpful every step of the way. I could not have asked for more gorgeous flowers they were strait out of a fairytale! Douglas worked within our budget to select blooms and designs that fit our needs. I would highly recommend him!!!

    Douglas is fantastic. I am still getting compliments on the flowers at our wedding. My husband and I were planning a mountain wedding, so Douglas worked with us to find flowers that would fit our venue and our budget. The results were gorgeous. I really could not be happier with how everything turned out. Douglas also went above and beyond on our wedding day. I had to cutback on the flowers at the ceremony site because we were over budget, but Douglas surprised me by adding a few extra flowers anyway. He also drove my bridesmaids and me to meet the rest of the bridal party when there was a scheduling mix-up and we ended up without a car -- definitely not something in his job description! I can't recommend him highly enough.
